justpositivity Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) +1 Agreed 100% Large criminal organizations, would have a different source of ammunition and weapons than other criminal organizations. Edited February 6, 2020 by justpositivity Mad e atypo
JakeInnit_ Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 I agree with Mikey. If official factions are struggling for ammo, it ruins their chance to sell it to clients outside of the official factions hence why criminal roleplay as a whole is suffering. 2
Goaldan Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Posted February 7, 2020 Appreciate all the +1's hopefully the problem gets solved soon! 1
TreMetal Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 On the other hand we don't really need tons and tons of people running around with heavy weapons constantly. The entire server is so flooded with guns that you can basically get one as soon as you spawn as a new citizen with your 7k cash. Maybe step 1 is to make sure Gun Stores require some Government background check. Then you can improve the imports when the supply of illegal guns is shorter on the pistol side (gun store).. instead of gang members selling guns wholesale to everyone through their legal business (for example: https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/topic/32247-dante-kalshnikov-ban-appeal/ archive). I am fairly certain selling 130 guns to 1-3 people would raise some serious red flags IRL. (Since serial numbers cannot be tracked back to the store that sold them so no IC way to solve this issue either [correct me if I am wrong] . Maybe adding store tracking to serial numbers. Then if police see 80+ guns from 'Corado' from a specific store they know something is up.) I am also reasonably confident most of the Gun Store owners would not be cleared to own a gun permit let alone a gun store. Any reasonable government approval process with a background check would likely disqualify a number of them. Overall I do not mind a +1, but I think other changes involving gun stores should accompany the proposed change. tl;dr: clean up gun store ownership and illegal gun trade that occurs with stores. Probably some sort of background check for ownership of gun stores and associate serial numbers of guns with the store they are purchased from. Then go and beef up the laptop and promote illegal gun trade through imports (including pistols).
